NORMALLY, ANYTHING REVIVED FROM THE DEAD IS SOMETHING TO BE FEARED. But when fans broke crowdfunding records to bring back Mystery Science Theater 3000, it was an event worthy of the finest disco cannons!
Hapless Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray) is trapped on the dark side of the moon and forced to watch cheesy movies by the evil, profit-obsessed mad scientist Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day) and her snarky henchman Max (Patton Oswalt). So Jonah does what any gadget-savvy kidnappee would do: make fun of the films with the help of his wisecracking robot pals, Tom Servo (Baron Vaughn), Crow (Hampton Yount) and Gypsy (Rebecca Hanson).
With luminary guest stars Mark Hamill, Neil Patrick Harris, Joel McHale and Jerry Seinfeld, and the return of some familiar faces, MST3K: The Return is sure to keep you laughing 'til you bust a seam in your jumpsuit!
Only Shout! Factory, the folks who have been bringing you
MST3K DVDs for almost ten years now, could have engineered the return of
Mystery Science Theater 3000 to television with brand-new episodes. And with great talent like Jonah Ray, Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt to boot! After ten seasons in its original run from 1989 to 1999, the program returned in 2017 and was seen on Neflix as "
